To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When I spoke of the possi- bility that justice might have attacked him, I was not speaking of just justice but of unjust justice — the justice of parties. Now unjust justice often strikes the just man, and might therefore strike M. Odilon Barrot." {Loud and prolonged laughter, at the end of which the orator resumes his speech.) Another important debate was that beginning on PARLIAMENTARY SPEECHES 197 May 20, on the proposal for limiting the franchise, and resulting in the law of May 31, passed ...by an As- sembly which sought to diminish the danger of Socialism by restrictions on the universal suffrage which had existed since 1 848 . In this debate — ^rendered memorable by Thiers' never-forgotten and never-forgiven reference to la vile multitude — ^Hugo, of course, was among the minority who opposed any change in the present system, regarding it as a safety-valve for discontent and a safeguard against violence. " The right of in- surrection," said he, " has been taken away by the right of universal suffrage." For those who feared to trust the people he expressed his contempt in one of those amazing metaphors which could not fail to provoke the derision of the irreverent, when he spoke of " your puny little laws defying the democracy and digging their wretched little nails into the granite of universal suffrage !
